"There has been too much violence, too much pain. None here are without sin. But I have an honorable compromise. Just walk away. Give me the pump the oil the gasoline and the whole compound...

I read an article by a group of paleontologist who experimented with this idea. Their findings showed that not only were the teeth strong enough to make a kill, but they also seemed to be perfectly designed to puncture the neck muscles and crush the trachea of prey animals many times larger...

I don't necessarily agree with this. It seems likely the key difference is that modern predators are specialized to hunt significantly different prey than their ancient forebears. A tiger might be smarter and stealthier, but the specialized teeth of a smilodon probably allowed it to take down...

Other than D&D...? I think some version of Hero System is best suited to recreating all of the various elements that comprised Dark Sun mechanically. I would personally use one of the following: 1.) Hero System 5th Edition Revised (plus assorted Hero System and Fantasy Hero books) 2.) Burning...

What tools are available that might aid in building and balancing new classes for a game utilizing the Pathfinder core rules? I have heard of the following tool sets: - Buy the Numbers - Complete Control - Trailblazer I don't really know anything about these products other than their...

That is exactly it. A large caliber, sub-sonic handgun round (like the .45 ACP) tends to do much more damage to a living target, because it transfers much more of its energy to said target than a smaller caliber, faster bullet (like the 9mm Luger) which punches through its target. Hollow-point...

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley In Huxley's novel Brave New World one can see a depiction of a dystopia that is the result of a Lawful Good tyranny. People are bio-engineered and born/hatched into different castes without a means of social mobility. The populace is kept happy with an...

Opinions desired The classes and races from Monte Cook's Arcana Evolved have generally been considered more powerful than the D&D 3.5 classes and races. Assuming that the above is true: - How do the classes from Arcana Evolved stack-up to the classes from Pathfinder in terms of power? -...

Pour one out for the Middleman I was sad when it didn't get picked up for another season. I found it much more enjoyable and original than shows like Heroes, Chuck, or Reaper. I think that ABC Family was perhaps the wrong network channel for the show to air on. It often wanted to be more...

For all of your World of Darkness (new and old) character sheet needs I would strongly recommend Mr. Gone's website. Mr. Gone is also a moderator over on the White Wolf forums, and seems to be an all around nice guy. So I am happy to pimp his stuff for him. Here are some nWoD Dark Ages...

I am really impressed with the paladin presented in the blog. I have never been a fan of paladins, but this version seems inspired. This character comes across as a self-sufficient, bad-arsed, holy-warrior, knight-errant, and leader of men. While I can buy into the idea of Order and Chaos...

The covers look great. I can't wait to pick up both Pathfinder and the Bestiary. Here's to hoping that Pathfinder works better for me than D&D 4E did. Cheers to the guys at Paizo.

Have Gun – Will Travel Have gun will travel Reads the card of a man A knight without armor In a savage land. His fast gun hired Heeds the calling wind A soldier of fortune Is a man called Paladin. Paladin, Paladin Where do you roam Paladin, Paladin Far, far from home. He travels on To...

I figured out the name of the game. It was called "Mutant Fighter". Here is a link to a page showing the arcade game.

Greetings I am searching for the name of an old arcade fighting game. Here are the details that I can remember about it. You fought in an arena in what seemed like a mythological Greece or Rome. I remember that it was a game where you could walk into the foreground and background as easily...

Buster Friendly is an Ewok.

When I did my military service I had the privilege of sampling Arthur Guinness's best on the Emerald Isle, and honestly it doesn't taste the same anywhere else. Nowadays I regularly drown my sorrows in a couple (dozen) ounces of Maker's Mark Kentucky bourbon. The French have nothing on the...

Finished version of the 3.5 Ascension Hey there, UK. I haven't been here in quite a while, but did you ever put out a completely finished version of Ascension for 3.5? I had bought my preorder of it through the old EN World store, but I don't think that is around anymore, so I can't check...

Here's one. The Gamemaster Show - Dread Character Creation / Actual Play / Game Review Episodes 36 - 40 Their Website Their RSS Fead I would stress again, that you really can't fully appreciate the games mechanics without actually playing the game and feeling the tension build as people...

Dread is absolutely brilliant I ran Dread this last weekend for the first time and had an absolute blast. I have owned it for a couple of months, read through it several times, and listened to some game play podcasts of Dread games, but I just didn't appreciate how much the Jenga mechanics...
